I have used version 4.0.31.Final & even getting same leak in latest version netty-4.1.29.Final as per https://netty.io/downloads.html. Any updates appreciated.

  • Can you post the code where you use this object? When using netty, it is important to call `.close()` on objects containing ByteBuf's, but at the moment, this is not done in your code. – Ferrybig Sep 20 '18 at 11:11
  • I suspect you forgot to call `release()` on a ByteBuf in the last ChannelInboundHandler in your pipeline. Please share your code. – Norman Maurer Sep 20 '18 at 13:25
  • I have a class say ServerHandler which extends ChannelInboundHandlerAdapter & it doesn't contain any ButeBuf objects but it uses FullHttpRequest & instantiates it like FullHttpRequest httpRequest = (FullHttpRequest) msg; where msg is of Object class.So do I need to call httpRequest.clear() ?? – Siddhivinayak Shanbhag Sep 21 '18 at 08:15
  • No you need to call `httpRequest.release()` – Norman Maurer Sep 22 '18 at 16:48

httpRequest.release() seems to work fine. httpRequest is handled in the form of object we need to release that object.
